Road Map to Shodan
Two books have been added to complete the Road Map to Shodan series by Kiseido: “The Basic Principles of the Opening and the Middle Game” and “A Survey of the Basic Tesujis”. The first one gives you 20 basic principles that help you think about your moves in the opening and middle game. The second presents more than 40 basic tesujis with multiple examples of each. In combination with the other books in that series, these will help you on your way to 1-dan. See the whole series.
Featured Books
With 2020 finally behind us, and vaccines starting to become available, now is a good time to learn something new and step up your game. With 150 books in Go Books, it can be hard to choose. Some suggestions: learn about how pros are inspired by AI, develop your sense of shape, or dive into a single game discussed and analyzed in detail.
You can read a free chapter of each book to see whether the book might be for you, either in the app, or by downloading an ePub sample. Please see the complete list of 150 books at: https://gobooks.com
Future of SmartGo Apps
I recently made some changes in SmartGo pricing: the Windows version is now just $19, and the Mac version is free. Read the reasoning behind that at smartgo.blog/2020/12/03/smartgo-mac-free/. You’ll also find some clues about progress on the all-new version of SmartGo for iOS – I’m still looking for some more early beta-testers.
